Hi,
I am new to MDC, but have been here a few times topoke around over the years, but have never had the time to post. I hope all of you wonderful women can shed some light on my issue.
Background: I just gave birth to baby #5, and with all my other kids I had HUGE oversupply issues. Now with this baby, I followed what is considered "normal" for milk coming in- I got engorged for a few days, was full feeling for a week or so, and now at 4.5 weeks old, my breasts feel soft and 'empty' (I know they arent, she swallows and has gained 3 lbs since birth. So the supply is ample, I am just freaking out that its not *my* normal.

So heres the question.... have any of you had this happen? Oversupply with some kids and not with others?????? Please tell me this is normal cause even though I KNOW things are probably ok, I am feeling really insecure about having enough milk for her, like somehow it will 'run out'.

I was engorged and had oversupply with my first- with my second, I never got engorged, it was just totally different. I assumed it was partially because my second child was much bigger than my first and drank the milk off so fast I never got a chance to "overfill". My second is now 18 months, and happily nursing despite my new pregnancy.
